  1. Your trips,
    ready when you open it.

    Saved trips wait on the home screen with the next departure and a Go button. Plan a trip once and save it.

  2. Delays on your lines,
    before you leave.

    Alerts for the lines you use sit right above your trips.

  3. Live means
    live.

    On the way, your stop and its platform stay on screen. Live times carry the live icon; timetable times don’t.

  4. The train,
    before it arrives.

    Waiting on a platform? A ghost train shows where the carriages will stop, each one numbered. It is approximate, and the app says so.

  5. Written for Android,
    not copied.

    Hunter builds the Android app, so Platform on Android follows Android’s own patterns.

  6. Which platform,
    and when.

    Pick a station to see its platforms, where each one goes and what leaves next.

  7. Where to
    catch it.

    The journey screen leads with your platform and departure time, and shows the live metro position when there is one.

  8. Phone back
    in your pocket.

    Your next step stays on the Lock Screen with a Live Activity on iPhone, and in a notification on Android.

  9. Your trip
    at a glance.

    The Live Activity shows how long until your next step, with the line, the platform and how far along you are.

Your trip,
not your data.

Platform is free. No ads, ever. No ad trackers, and no account to make. We care about how your trip goes, not about what we could learn from it.

Only what a feature needs leaves your phone: the start and end of a trip you plan, the stops and times of a journey you share or follow live, and on iPhone an anonymous weekly count of finished trips. While Android is in beta, it also sends diagnostics so we can fix bugs.

Hi, we’re
Immanuel and Hunter.

I’m Immanuel. I’m a student in Sydney and I get around on public transport. I started Platform because the apps I had couldn’t tell me whether the next train was really coming, and I didn’t want to pay or make an account to find out.

Hunter builds the Android app, so Platform on Android is written for Android, not copied from the iPhone.

We want Platform to be the app Sydney commuters reach for first, and one day the one people use right around Australia.
